Thread: Item XP costs tripled!

What is the logic behind screwing us on the cost of item xp from the skirmish vendors? Yesterday I couid buy 60k for 260 marks now its only 20k for the same 260 marks! It doesnt matter to me that the level was increased when I'm only level 57 anyway. Maybe it helps the higher levels but those of us below 60 have been screwed over.

I read the developer diaries but nowhere did it mention tripling the price or I would have stocked up yesterday.

uhm....

on live, it's always been 260 = 20k

No it has not. Not for the below 60 item xp. It was 60k. I didnt just pull that number oiut of my ???. a lot of people are complaining about it on my server.

All blue pills work for all legendary items effective today. There used to be Moria and Mirkwood pills. I never looked really closely, there may have been cases where both pills were on sale. The Moria ones were cheaper.

Item XP? Why have I not heard of this?

All I know is that I could buy 60k for 260 marks before, now the only option is 20k for 260 marks. It was restricted to items below level 60, but at 57 thats all I need anyway. They elminated the cheaper option for no good reason.

You havent heard of it because you are 37. At 45 you get legendary weapons then it will make sense.

the reason they eliminated the cheaper option was because they removed the item from the game. There is no lower tier of runes anymore, which is a great change. you'll be L60+ level soon enough and the change to standardise IXP runes will benefit you far more than any temporary inconvenience with the price of lower tier runes. Frankly you're better off saving your marks anyway, you don't need to be pumping up your legendary items with bought runes in that level range. Save em for level cap when you'll need skirmish marks for all sorts of things (armour sets, empowerment scrolls, relics).

The Moria pills were removed from the game. You can not buy them any more.

See:
We have eliminated the two tiers of Item XP heritage runes. All Runes dropping from now on will have the XP values of the level 65 runes and be useable on any Legendary Item. Any runes currently in your inventory or in storage will remain unchanged.

So yes, effectively your costs for lvl 60 or below stuff is now tripled...

but they did tell us they were making it all one kind of rune... and we know they're not nice enough to make it the older kind rather than the newer

Plus... why are you using lvl 60 or below stuff now?

Im using below 60 stuff because my character is 57.

Not sure I would be wasting skirmish points on runes for a weapon you are going to toss but...

It seams the reduced a number of these but not by 3 times. The ones you get from trading the coins from the daily runs have gone down. You used to get 190000 for 18 coins now you only get 160000. Also the drops from mobs the value has appeared to drop. For example you used to get 2000 point from the lower level diggers. You now get 1250 (not exactly sure) from them. These are pretty close to the values I noticed that you got before from the high level diggers things. I suspect but have not tried it yet, that they dropped the value from decon of weapons. I know I used to get 5000,7500,10000,15000 from decon of low level weapons at 11. I suspect we will now get the lower level values that the higher weapons gave when decon at 11.

weird, i still have moria and mirkwood pills in my inventory
does this means that no matter wat level of LI you decon, it will output a single type of ixp rune?

yeah, but the old max lvl 60 still can only be used on max lvl 60 items;

and i guess we will get a new type of rune when RoI will be launched...

If you really want to use the skirmish marks, you get 15K for 130 sm, 20K for 260sm, 40k for 520 sm. Doesn't make sense. Buy 3 of the 15k for 390 sm and have 45K sm instead. More IXP, less sm. I only noticed because I was lvling a weapon for decon so I could get ripped off on my relic forging (liked the melding thing though). They'll probably fix that as well at next update.
